Where Their Merit Lies.

When anything stands test OF fifty
years among discriminating people
like the Americans it is pretty good
evidence that there is merit somewhere.
Such q test BRANDRETH s Pills have
stood and thousands of unsolicited
testimonials every year prove their
merit. The Pills are purely vegetable
and are the result of the highest med
ical and chemical skill. They have
never been known to fail in their work;
they have never caused any one the
slightest inconvenience no matter when
taken, and there is little doubt that
they have really saved thousands of
lives. The best evidence of their value
hes in their increasing sale. BRASDRRrH's
PILLS have truly become a household
necessity.

4 Veteran Gone.

Announcement is made to-day OF the
death of Isaac Gaisford, at Lynne, in
this county. He settled here at an early
date, and labored most industriously in
his humble. way in The development of
the country, until the hour when he
was stricken down by kidney com
plants. He was an honorable man,
highly respected; probably he had the
dislike of no person on earth. During the
past year his sufferings have been in
tense, and when death came it brought
a welcome relief.-Ogden Herald. 23d.

Disorders Which Affect the Kidneys

Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and
other complaints of the urinary organs,
are not ordinarily cured in severe cases,
but they may be averted by timely
medication. A useful stimulant OF the
urinary glands has ever been found in
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, medicine
which not only affords the requisite
stimulus when they become inactive,
but increases their vigor and secretive
power. By increasing the activity of
the kidneys and bladder, this medicine
has the additional effect OF expelling
from che blood impurities which it is
the peculiar Office of those organs to
eliminate and pass off. The Bitters is
also purifier and strengthened of the
bowels, an InVigorant of the stomach,
and q matchless remedy for biliousness
and lever and ague. Il counteracts a
tendency 70 premature decay, and sus-
tains and comforts the aged and infirm.

The Washington Post says: Gen. Hor-
ace Porter is rare dinner-table wit. In
a speech at Sorosis the other evening he
said he hoped that no ill-considered re-
marks of his own were TO mar the didac-
tic flow of the evening. Like the ancient
philosopher he was willing TO have any
thing happen at the dinner if it didn't
happen to him. He felt some hesitation,
indeed, about coming AT all, remembering
the fate OF. the first man who ever went
to woman's dinner. Eve had eaten the
apple there and gave Adam the core.
[Laughterl But he had Jared, as all
the men seemed to have Jared, extremely
well, and he had to say to the waiter who
brought him the ices and fruits at the
last--what Martin Luther had said at
the Diet of Worms, God help me |
can take no other course" Laughter
and applause.] We had supposed that
women were inAexibly apposed to clubs,
more particularly as the first woman's IA
vorite son was killed with one. Times
had changed since 1t was Cain who
raised the club then; now the club raised
Cain. Laughter.

FOURTH DISTRICT, W. VA,

-hdlNH IL 1901
To the Editor Of the Register.
Mr.. James NJ. Mason in the last issue of
his paper, with an evident relish, refers TO
the conference which was held in the SUI
preme CouTs room at Wheeling during the
State Convention in the summer Of 1854.
As that gentleman has now assumed the
role Of an apostle Of pure methods in poll
tics, beg to call his attention to little
conversation between Us Immediately after
the adjournment Of the conference referred
to, which he will recall. was delegate
to that convention, and went there in sup
port of the guberuatorial candidacy Of Mr..
Van Meter of Hardy county. On the day
before the convention was to meet, was in
vitcd by Captain Mathews, of Greenbrier,
to go down to the Capitol to a little meet
ing of anti Faulkner delegates remain
ed throughout the session of the conference
and after its adjournment Mr.. Mason was
brought, and after being introduced by a
mutual friend, said "Mr. --, this con-
ference has proven that we need twenty-five
votes to defeat Faulkner; your county has
about eighty delegates here, and ! want you
to give me the names Of all the Faulkner
men whom can reach with money. have
got the money to beat Camden's man, Faux
ner, and must do it, if it takes all the mon
ey, in the First National Bank Of New
York"
Mr. Mason will remember thi. conyersa-
ton ard cannot deny it. Since he has be-
come political reiormer' and now dep
recates the use of money in politics, !
thought it might be well to remind him Of
this little incident.

The Depth of fmitattpc Perady.

Queerer still than the caterpillars
which pretend to be leaves or flowers for
the sake of protection are those truly di-
abolical and perfdious Brazilian spiders
which, as Mr.. Bates observed, are bril-
liantly colored with crimson and purple,
but double themselves up at the base of
leaf stalks so rs TO resemble flower buds,
and thus deceive the insects upon which
they prey" There is something hideous-
ly wicked and cruel in this lowest depth
of initiative iniamy. A flower bud is
something so innocent and childlike; and
to disguise one self as such for purposes
of murder and rapine argues the final
abyss of arachnoid perfdy. Ii reminds
one of that charming and amiable young
lady in Mr.. Louis Stevcnson's "Dynami-
ter" who amused herself in moments of
temporary gaityby blowing up inhabited
houses, inmates and all, out Of pure
lighncss Of heart and girlish friyoliN.
An Indian mantis or praying insect,
little less wicked, though no less cruel
than the spiders, deceives the flies who
come to his arm under the false preience
of being quiet leaf, upon which they
may light in safety for rest and refresh
ment Yet another abandoned member
of the same family, relying boldly upon
the resources of tropical nature, gets it.
